Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that's needed to run files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known app which is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of organizations that create paid script apps, so in case you get such an application for your website, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and ensure that your website visitors or clients won't be able to change it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.
